What’s new in SketchUp 2026.1.2?

SketchUp

Contextual Notifications & Messages

SketchUp now displays contextual notifications. These notifications can help you discover and operate new features relevant to what you are working on. You may now receive notifications in the following situations:

  • Onboarding – Notifications intended for new SketchUp users that include guided workflows for features they may not be familiar with.
  • Feature Updates – Announcements regarding updates and new capabilities.
  • Urgent Alerts – Critical notifications with time-sensitive or essential information.

You can control which notifications will appear in SketchUp in the General section of Preferences by selecting Show urgent messages only.

Crash Fixes
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when copying and pasting a Live Component while the Scale tool was still active after resizing it. Also fixed an issue where undoing the scale operations left the Live Component in a state where it could no longer be resized or reconfigured through the Component Properties View.
  • (Windows) Fixed a crash related to DX12 rendering triggered by orbiting or zooming while using a 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse, notably after using extensions such as Medeek Wall.
  • (MacOS) Resolved a crash that occurred when creating and moving a section cut while SketchUp was running in Multiple Document Interface (MDI) mode.
  • Fixed a crash where users would receive duplicate error messages after editing a material with a texture and clicking Generate Textures.
Bug Fixes
  • Inputting a specific length during uniform scale now scales along the selected axis grip instead of only along the red axis.
  • Dragging a side handle during uniform scale no longer causes the handle to move further than the cursor position, breaking the alignment.
  • URLs for buyers and resellers in commercial and educational sales now route to the intended webpages.
  • (Windows) Fixed an issue where the “Show New Tags” context menu toggle could not be turned off.
  • (Windows) Using Ctrl+ or Ctrl- to adjust the default number of segments no longer displays random symbols in the VCB.

LayOut

Bug Fixes
  • Files with invalid embedded or external table references will now successfully load into LayOut. The invalid table references will be removed from the file reference manager and table entities referencing them.
  • (Windows) Fixed a crash that could occur when resizing a text box.
  • (Windows) Addressed a crash that could occur when reloading a SketchUp model.
  • (Windows) Fixed a crash when setting a line Dash.
  • (Windows) Fixed a crash in the Color Panel.
  • (Windows) Resolved a crash that could occur when closing a document.
  • (Windows) Addressed an issue which would cause noisy edges to text when editing lightly colored text entities against a darker background.
  • (MacOS) Fixed a crash that would occur when a font name contained over 32 characters.

Interoperability

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed MText colors not retained when importing DWG/DXF files. Resolved a regression where MText entities with multiple colors lost their individual color formatting when imported into LayOut, rendering all text in a single color instead of preserving the per-segment coloring from the original AutoCAD drawing.
Security Updates
  • Security updates for Dynamic Components

Ruby API Additions and Improvements

  • UI.messagebox and UI.inputbox have been fixed to not unintentionally support HTML content.
